I am wanting to use a PIC Programmer (IC-Prog) and it needs to plug into a serial port.
I have 2 ports on the pc. How do I find which one it is plugged into?so I can set up the program to use that port.

Will it need a driver ?
Thanks

Check the BIOS to be sure that the 2 different Com ports are enabled. The prog. should have a means to select one or the other. If one doesn't work the other's bound to. Serial port drivers are supplied by the OS. Any special drivers should be supplied by the vendor.
